Monster House

Monster House
I took my kids to see the animated movie Monster House and it was fantastic! This will definitely be nominated for an Oscar and I bet it wins. By far the best animated movie I've seen this year. I saw Cars and it was really cool but not quite the experience of this movie. My kids laughed and shrieked a couple of times in the scary parts. The best part was I went to a matinee and there was no rude person talking behind me. Hot buttered popcorn, ice cold soda and a great movie. What more could you want?

Jester
I'm listening to the book on tape of the fantastic Jester. I can see why Patterson is a NY Times best-selling author. He's a master at ending the chapters leaving you wanting more. His writing is like being addicted to a drug that you can't get enough of. Stephen King is right when he says there's author's that are born writing savants and Patterson is one. Heads and tails above the rest of us. Bravo!

Football
Anybody that knows me, knows I love football more than any other sport. Well now I'm helping coach a group of Mighty Mites and I'm enjoying every minute of it. My son asked to play so I thought I'd help out. My hat is off to any person who coaches. You're volunteering precious free time and don't get paid for it. Seeing the joy of players makes it all worthwhile.
